Class Note 2005
Issue
Hello, ’05s! I trust you’re all at the reunion and that we’ve broken every record on attendance. Go ’05s! As I write this in April I’m super-excited to see everyone there—and we’ve just about beat the attendance rate for the ’04s!
Lots of great news to share.
Ilya Abyzov will be moving to the Bay Area this summer and will begin attending Stanford Business School in the fall. Good luck, Ilya! He’s also been working on his comedy. He wrote the following sketch and shot it with some of his friends. www.collegehumor.com/video:1933617.
Former Big Green hockey captain Lee Stempniak has been all over the sports news. Lee was traded to the Phoenix Coyotes earlier this year, and as of April 2 had scored 13 goals in 14 games, leading the NHL. Coach Dave Tippett was quoted in the Canadian press as saying of Stempniak, “He’s been tremendous. He’s meshed very well with our guys. He’s kind of a quiet personality, which is not bad having a quiet personality and carrying a big stick.”
Kabir Sehgal released a new book, Walk in My Shoes: Conversations Between a Civil Rights Legend and His Godson on the Journey Ahead with Andrew Young on May 11. Andrew Young was an aide to Martin Luther King Jr. and an important civil rights leader. Actor Jamie Foxx reviewed the book as “engaging, raw and impactful, this book should be a required reading for us all. Ambassador Young imparts wisdom on his godson with an organic humor and sensibility that can make you laugh and cry at the same time.” Kabir has been working in emerging market equity sales at JP Morgan in New York City. He is also the author of Jazzocracy: Jazz, Democracy and the Creation of a New American Mythology, which was released in 2008.
Jane Viner wrote to say, “I am in the second half of my third year of medical school at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Still figuring out what residency to pursue. Enjoying hiking, running and skiing in the Midwest but I’m eager to get back to New Hampshire for our reunion in June!”
Christina Yu wrote in to say that she is the founder and publisher of a new national literary journal, www.myliterarycouture.com.
Congrats to Megan Escherich! Her sister Katie reports Megan “married Gregory Evans on February 13 overlooking the ocean in beautiful Hermanus, South Africa. Dartmouth alums making the trip included Jennifer DerYuen, Laura Randolph, Felicia Yu and Megan’s dad, Rick ’74, sister Katie ’02 and brother John ’08. The happy couple lives in New York City.”
And a big congratulations to Matt Bell, who married Katherine Brill ’06 in early April!
I recently caught up with Sylvia Chi in Washington, D.C. She’s on track to finish her J.D. from University of Maryland this spring and is in the job market.
Thanks, everyone!
